Hey Randy try Salomon pro ice or pro rock comfy boots with the rock being better for allaround [ 05-17-2002, 07:14 PM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

The slippage is normal in some ropes and its due to the sheath braiding (tighter no slippage looser slippage). about new rope twist, the manufacture coils the rope pretty much like mountaineering coil and that twist the hell out of the rope (they give u a direction of how to uncoil it but for me it never worked and I always got it twisted). However, the only cure for that IMHO is, to hang the rope over a cliff (or in NYC a building) for a little while (half hour to 45 minutes) and let the tangle work their way out. then coil it on a single butterfly coil.

It's best to eliminate the corrosion immediately, not to let it sit around all summer. Carl Just watch out for this method as it remove the chrome coating of the screw making the area of the corrosion even bigger And creating a micro grooves for the water to collect and rust it even more What I will suggest is apply WD40 to the screw and let it soak then wipe it off with a cloth and applying second coat for storage

Mordor Wall Up in cathedral ledge in NH. a classic aid line in the NE. great 15' whipper and 3' X 1' X 6" of rock dislodging and falling a foot from me. kinda of your classic horror show. But we all fine and its an awesome route [ 05-13-2002, 01:16 PM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

After using the CMI ultrascenders combine with the Yates adjustable daises, I am convinced that the Petzl ascenders are maky at best. CMI, what a bomber ascender and easy to operate and the Yates daises, are 10 folds better then the Metolius. This combination is a must if u think of doing good amount of aid climbing. Personally they getting an A+++ for performance

I am invisible I use Pampers Custom Fit Cruisers they are perfect for an active little one like me. Cruisers offer such an incredible stretch that they’ll follow me wherever I move and there is no waste issue [ 05-10-2002, 10:29 AM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

Try Salomon rock pro or any of the new Garmont. I think that they are better then these Sportiva. I still do not know that happened to minimum seams single piece leather boots construction. Lately, it seems that there are less and less boots manufactures with this approach in mind [ 05-10-2002, 10:42 AM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

Snowball with alcohol swap

So far so good but I haven’t subject them to the real test so cant really tell u the Salomon Pro Ice are comfortable and well made but they are too new to say more

Q, how is the megamid holds up in high wind when buried in the snow I never had the chance to try/test it

Oh Happy Days…oh happy days…Praise the lord, Amen

The one thing that I didn’t understand is what is the benefit of climbing leash less is there any rout u can do leash less that u cant do with leashes? For instance in sport Vs Trad this argument is true since u got bolts and u can hang on the rope but with ice there is no bolts and Y don’t really hangdog U just risk the chance of dropping tools and inevitability lowering down So here is my solution climb with the leashes 2”to3” longer then your normal length and have fun if worse come to worse U at least didn’t drop the tool or climb with the archaic tools made in the 60’s for a real horror show incase u like the challenge

Hi Colin, try them they have a great selection of parts the mountaineer

Im not sure if the front bail just broke on you. but if they offer the grade 8 bail for the M10 just take it and use the old front piece (with the ring) from your old M10 bail threaded over the grade 8 bail one also the Grivel Rambo front bail working (actually better) well for the M10 I had this setup till I sold my old Rambo
